Someone knocked at my door.
“Steven, can we talk?” Sierra asked shyly, peering into my office.
I strolled over to her from my desk. “Of course we can, love.”
With her hands clutching the contract, she twirled on her heel and headed toward the living room. I followed after her, my heart pounding inside my chest and my teeth gnawing at my inner cheek. It had been two whole weeks since I had given her the contract. And she hadn’t said anything to me.
For a while, I’d thought she had forgotten all about it. I had urged her to take her time reading and understanding each and every section, but I had been tearing myself apart every night, wondering what her answer would be.
As she lingered by the couches, waiting for me to catch up with her, I noticed her diamond necklace lying on the coffee table. I sucked in a low breath and swallowed all those insecurities that had haunted me for years.
She sat down on the couch, grabbed the necklace, and handed me both of the items that I had given her because I loved her. My mouth was dry, and I couldn’t help but feel like she had thought this all over and decided that it wasn’t for her.
Even so, that wouldn’t change the way I felt about her.
“I’ve thought a lot about the contract, Steven,” she whispered.
Since the contract wasn’t as important as she was to me, I laid it in my lap and gave her my full attention, offering her a small, supportive smile. “It’s okay, love. I know this is all new to you. We don’t have to move forward with anything that you’re not comfortable with.”
She stared at me quizzically for a couple of moments, and then a smile broke out onto her face, followed by one of her infamous, contagious giggles. “If you’ll just flip to the last page already, you’ll see that I can’t wait to be your submissive, Sir.”
I flipped to the last page to see her signature on the line with a small heart next to it. My lips curled into a smile, cheeks rounding and heart pounding inside my chest. This was … she really …
“Now, come here and collar me.” Another giggle escaped her mouth as she crawled closer to me and sat on my lap. “A private lesson is needed to put me in my place. I’ve been a bad girl, Mr. Patton, for sleeping with my professor.”
